Nook For Mac: How To Get The Best Ebook Experience On Your Mac



Despite Barnes and Noble ebook sales volume has declined over the years, Nook is still the one that offers the less expensive ebook around the market. After purchasing the ebooks from Nook, here comes to the question: how can I download Nook Books to the computer?


Barnes and Noble has discontinued the options to download Nook ebooks to a computer for backup from their website. About one year ago, there were about 3 methods to download Nook books to your computer (on Windows platform): Nook for PC, Nook study and Nook app.

If you have an Apple iOS or an Android device, there's no need to transfer Nook e-books to another app. You can download the Nook app to your device from the Apple App Store or Google Play. After you install the Nook reading app, log in with your Barnes & Noble account and download your e-books to the app.
